Eyes Shut

Guardian UK: Conservative groups shrug off link between tropical storm Harvey and climate change - Myron Ebell, who headed the EPA’s transition team when Trump became president, said the last decade has been a period of ‘low hurricane activity’
“Instead of wasting colossal sums of money on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, much smaller amounts should be spent on improving the infrastructure that protects the Gulf and Atlantic costs,” said Ebell, who is director of environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian think tank that has received donations from fossil fuel companies such as Exxon Mobil.

We have to STOP responding to deniers they're just trolls. The science is solid and the debate now is about how to mitigate the issue not whether it's happening. Harvey among many other data pts. are all clear indications of rising temps., warming Oceans etc. It's way past time to act.

IT is past time to act and we need to go around deniers. America is late on action, conservatives will always be late on action.
